Like all assets, you cannot afford to have an out-of-sight, out-of-mind mentality with your building envelope, especially the roof. Roofing is one of the most expensive investments that a building owner can make, so it pays to keep track of its performance.
Every roof begins a natural process of deterioration from the moment it is installed. Technologically advanced polymers and time-proven materials such as metal or modified bitumen increase the safety factor for roofing performance. But over time, exposure to heat, water, ultraviolet radiation (UV), weather and chemical effluents will degrade even the best roofs. That's why preventative maintenance is essential to protecting your roofing investment and extending its life.
Preventative maintenance starts with a sound knowledge of the condition of the roof in question. Only once you have this information can you formulate a plan to extend the life of your roof.
The first step is to initiate roof inspections by one of Garlands experienced technical professionals who will visit the site in order to make a thorough assessment of all areas under consideration. Based all around the UK, the Garland Team are, without exception, renowned for their technical knowledge gained from many years of experience in the UK roofing industry. As well as a visual inspection, tests will be carried out and photographs taken to illustrate any problems found.
With The Garland Company’s total commitment to providing, innovative products technical design and workmanship to the highest standard it is natural that all systems and applications are backed up by long standing, credible guarantees.
